Levy's POV

After sleeping for twelve hours straight that night, I was back to my normal self and Gajeel was back at work. Juvia was around the Redfox residence more and PantherLily continued to lurk around the kitchen area, waiting for me and the kiwis.

Three days had passed since Gajeel's day off, after he'd taken care of me I felt like he deserved to be called Gajeel. I called him Redfox out of formalities, how we weren't close before... But...

Now it's different.

"Levy! Where are you?" I curled up into a ball underneath my bed covers as Gajeel's voice rang out through the mansion. "Seriously, it's almost one in the afternoon!"

"Shhhh," I mumbled. "Lemme sleep..."

The door to my room opened and I heard the grumble of a wild Gajeel. Lucky for me that I had decided to wear my yoga pants and baggy t-shirt because within seconds of entering my room, Gajeel yanked my bed covers off and left me cold.

"Come on, you need to be ready by six."

"That's like, five hours away..." I said, yawning as I sat up. "Why'd you do that by the way? I could've been in my underwear for all you knew."

Gajeel turned away quickly and strode out the door. "You need to be ready as soon as possible. Although it may be five hours away, it's best for us to be prepared now so that if Rogue shows up early we'll be ready."

"You make this sound like a war."

Gajeel called out, "It is."

Weirdo. I frowned and fell out of bed. Ouch.

Since the meeting was five hours away and I wouldn't be getting ready for another few hours, I decided to wander downstairs and grab some fruit. Lily trailed after me when I entered the kitchen and looked up at me with his hopeful eyes. Eventually I gave in and threw a kiwi in his direction, I earned a couple of concerned stares from one or two chefs and a disaproving glare from Gajeel. Sticking out my tongue at him, I returned to my room and decided to take a shower.

"Mrs Redfox? You're having a shower now?" Juvia asked me whilst bringing a new set of dark blue towels into the en suite.

"Call me Levy, Juvia!" I insisted. "And yes, if Gajeel's family is coming over then I need to look presentable."

Juvia's eyes seemed to light up for a second, but then after shaking her head, the look in her eyes vanished.

"What's wrong Juvia?"

"Hm? Nothing is wrong with Juvia!" Juvia smiled. Then she twiddled her thumbs. "Um, Juvia was wondering if Mrs Re- Uhmm... Levy would mind if Juvia did Levy's make-up?"

I grinned and nodded. "Once I've had my shower, you can come into my room and give me a make-over. We can chat about stuff as well."

Juvia's face lit up and she wrapped her arms around me. "Thank you Levy!"

-------------------------------------------------------

"Woah Juvia!" I looked at my reflection in the mirror. "I look..."

"Juvia did it wrong!" Juvia wailed, reaching out in an attempt to redo my make-up but I moved away before she could do anything.

"No! It looks amazing!" I held her hands back and smiled. Soon after, Juvia's face broke out into a smile. "You should part time as a make-up artist."

"Really Levy?"

"Of course!" My phone's alert went off and I rushed over to it to see a text from Lucy.
